Architectural & Interior Design in Hampstead Garden Suburb.

Good building starts with good drawings. Our in-house architects and interior designers take a project in Hampstead Garden Suburb from a first conversation to a set of drawings the council will validate and a builder can price, and because we are also the builder, the drawings are produced with construction in mind from the first sketch.

The design stage begins with a measured survey of the existing house and a conversation about how you live. From that we draw two or three options, develop the one you choose, and produce the planning application, building regulation drawings and interior specification: finishes, lighting, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms, all as one coordinated scheme.

We design to the policies of the London Borough of Barnet from the outset, so schemes are not redrawn after a refusal, and we obtain pre-application advice where that would help. Many clients start with the design stage alone and decide later whether to build with us; the drawings are theirs either way.

Hampstead Garden Suburb: the houses and the planning rules.

Hampstead Garden Suburb is a planned Arts and Crafts suburb begun in 1907, with cottages and houses by Unwin, Parker, Lutyens and their contemporaries set on tree-lined roads around Central Square. The whole Suburb is protected twice over, by Barnet as a conservation area and by the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust, which must approve any external change.

Owners here typically want to extend and modernise without losing what makes the houses special. That means extensions designed in the Suburb's own language, roofs and windows that follow the Trust's guidance, and interiors that bring services and kitchens up to date while keeping the original joinery and proportions.

The whole Suburb is a conservation area, with Article 4 directions on every street and the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust as a second consenting body.

London Borough of Barnet

Barnet decides planning applications, with Article 4 directions across the Suburb removing permitted development rights for all external work.

The Trust

The Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust must also approve external alterations under the scheme of management, with its own design guidance and application.

Materials

Handmade tiles, brick, timber windows and lime render are expected; the Trust publishes detailed guidance for each.
